The Gariguette strawberry from Lot-et-Garonne was selected by Maison Ponthier notably for the intensity of its flavour, its fine sweet/acidic balance and its red gourmand colour. This variety enjoys the department’s typical climate, which is simultaneously basked in oceanic and Mediterranean influences. The first mass producers of the French Gariguette, our strawberry growers are also the first of the season to deliver their precious rubies, again thanks to the characteristics of the local soil. Recognised by enthusiasts thanks to its elongated tapered shape and red-orange colour, this variety is one of the department’s gastronomical and economical gems, with an important reputation all over France.
